OS - Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
I want to setup my machine so I have two virtual environments
- For pip
- For conda
I want to do this so in one virtual environment I can have all libraries that are installed using pip and in the other I can have all my anaconda work/libraries
For pip and conda both I want to a have Python3.6 as default
How can I do this ?
python python-3.x pip conda virtual-environment

First, install Miniconda. You can then create an environment where you (try to) only use conda
> conda create -n conda_only python=3.6
> conda install -n conda_only numpy ...
And you can also make your 'pip' environment as a conda env, but then only use pip to install packages. For example,
> conda create -n pip_only python=3.6 pip
> source activate pip_only
> pip install numpy ...
I don't know your motivation (benchmarking installation times perhaps?), but it should be noted that in practice it's common to mix conda and pip simply because some packages are only on PyPI. Plus, conda recognizes packages installed by pip.

Hey, sorry for the late reply. If I use both pip and conda in the same environment then conda wouldn't pickup libraries installed via pip and vice versa right ?

@TanmayBhatnagar, no that is not correct. Conda will recognize pip-installed packages, and pip will recognize conda-installed python packages (those that install to.../site-packages). They work well together. My typical workflow is to use conda for everything, and I resort to pip only when a package isn't available through conda. Also, conda envs are cheap, so just make some and play around.

so do u use the preinstalled pip or did you install pip using conda as well

@TanmayBhatnagar You need a pip installation for each virtual environment, so you install pip via conda for each environment. pip is only a package manager, but conda is both a virtual environment manager and a package manager.

the problem i encountered was after activating the conda env i did not install pip using conda and just installed libraries using pip so conda did not pickup the libraries
